Kari Lake triumphed in the GOP primary to replace Senator Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona, securing 53% of the vote with most of the ballots counted.
Her victory came over primary opponent Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, who received 41% of the vote.
Here is her humble response to the win on X:
.@sherifflamb1 was never an opponent. He's my friend.
I truly appreciate everything he's given to Arizona, and I know he's not done fighting for it. He's not done protecting it.
He ran a great campaign, and I look forward to working together with him in the future. pic.twitter.com/qdf1oFuPFo

The impending Senate race against Democratic Representative Ruben Gallego is anticipated to be a pivotal contest with potential implications for the Senate’s balance of power.
Lake, a former news anchor, will be challenging Gallego, who emerged unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Last year, Senate Democrat Sinema departed from the Democratic Party to become an Independent, and Lake’s victory sets the stage for a closely monitored election.
Backed by former President Donald Trump and holding a significant fundraising edge, Lake has concentrated her campaign efforts on confronting Gallego and the Biden administration.

Meanwhile, Gallego boasts nearly $8.2 million in funds.
The Cook Political Report has categorized this race as favoring the Democratic Party.

Nationalism before Globalism!
Republicans must win every race in the House and Senate! If not the Democrats will do everything they can to stop his agenda just like they did beginning in 2016.
Good. I’m sick and tired of lib liars in our governments.
Katie Hobbs like Sinema were “selected” NOT elected. They’re despised by the masses of good Arizonians. Lake won by a landslide. The cheating was well documented & PROVEN beyond a doubt. It’s what the globalists do to make sure their puppets continue to take their orders. Truly a TRAVESTY!
If that were actually true they would not be in office, they were elected to the offices that they hold and that is a testament to the voters in Arizona and their point of view with respect to politics. What the real Arizona folks should have done is restrict traffic from California and they would have been able to forestall the nonsense that the are now experiencing! Too little, too late, you are stuck with what they have wrought!
They absolutely did NOT legitimately win their seats. Just because a corrupt judicial system failed Arizonans doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It was no different from Oh0m0’s and Biden’s thefts of their presidential positions. The corruption in most of the state governments and the federal government is far too massive to stop, and we will see even bigger fraud in the coming election.
Good for Kari Lake who worked hard to clean up the voter fraud that ran rapid in AZ since Covid changed voter rules and left it open to be stolen! She ran an honest and fair campaign! Arizonians bring her home on NOV 5TH 2024 leaving Gallego in the AZ mountain dust!
I have no faith in the voters in Arizona to clean up their political mistakes of the past at the polls. They seem as though they are intent on self destruction and serious limits on their supposed “freedoms” at the hands of those politicians that they have voted into those offices that have the power to place severe restrictions on who they are and what they are doing and where they are going. The closing of businesses and the requirements for masks and all of the other nonsense that was imposed on all with the supposed “Covid” crisis is a perfect example of the kinds of impositions that the politicians used as an excuse to wield power over the great unwashed masses, so to speak. Covid is a viral infection that by all reasonable accounts was a minor infection for more than 90% of the population and particularly the youngest among us, but the politicians “never let a crisis go to waste” in the immortal words of a despot that wants to exercise arbitrary power over all. Be careful what you wish for folks, it will come home to roost!
Covid is NOT a viral infection, minor or otherwise. ALL of the people who claimed to have it were experiencing basic influenza symptoms. Those who were tested and told they were positive were fooled, plain and simple, because the PCR test cannot diagnose covid, especially considering that it has never been sequenced. It is a bioweapon that was created in a lab and is patented, it is NOT natural.
I BELIEVE EVERY ELECTION, NO MATTER WHAT IS FOR, SHOULD HAVE A SET LIMIT ON MONEY FOR THEIR CAMPAIGN. TOO OFTEN, PEOPLE COMPARE MONEY/VALUE TO THE PERSON AND VOTE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY MUST BE GOOD. TOO MANY GREAT LEADERS WILL NEVER GET ELECTED BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T THE MONEY. THEY MAY AT THEIR JOB, BUT NOT EVERY RICH GUY MAKES A GOOD LEADER; LOOK AT THE ILLINOIS GOVERNOR, A BILLIONAIRE BORN INTO WEALTH. WHAT DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THE MAN BUSTING HIS ASS DAILY TO MAKE ENDS MEET WHILE HE HAS BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO SPEND THAT MANS MONEY. IT IS ALWAYS EASIER TO SPEND SOMEONE ELSE’S MONEY, AND WE HAVE SEEN THAT WITH BIDUM AND PRITZKER.
Good luck to her and stay strong. The democrat party’s marxist objectives must be stopped!
